Process data
Measuring task:
Level measurement
Measuring point:
Tank
Measuring range up to:
1,5 m
Medium:
Fuel oil
Process temperature:
0 ... +40 °C
Process pressure:
-1 … +2 bar
Special challenges:
Low dielectric constant and small head space
Application
Backup generators are a common safeguard at lift stations to maintain operation during power outages. Day tanks at each lift station and a main tank at the plant are used to store the fuel. To make sure there is sufficient fuel when needed, the level in the tanks is continuously measured.
